Man, I don't know about this; MJ has great resiliancy.  He stood accused 
of raping little boys, using anti-semetic lyrics, lightening his skin...
and it seems that everytime I turn on VH1, they're doing some sort of MJ 
video retrospective.  
Mind you, I really don't care for MJ's music (never did), but his career 
seems to be sound and going strong despite obsticles that may hinder 
performers with less popularity.  
A similar situation occured with the Beatles, and although I am not 
comparing anything but careers; there are some strong parellels.
